Our Verify team could not trace the 1.2 million green manufacturing figure. However, the International Labour Organization, a "tripartite U.N. agency" says that 24 million new jobs would be created globally by 2030 as the world moves towards a green economy"

CLAIM: Senator Booker said that Amazon and Halliburton paid no taxes last year.

This claim is VERIFIED, true, but only when talking about federal taxes.

CLAIM: Senator Warren said that seven children die a day from gun violence

That claim is outdated, the number used to be seven, but has since dropped to six due to a change in how the data is calculated.

The number Sen. Warren stated has been repeated for years. It was first documented in 2016 by the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence. They totaled gun deaths of people ages 0 through 18 from the years 2013 through 2014.

The total was about 7,838 people killed which averaged out to about 7.15 deaths per day.

Brady Campaign Data show that the numbers have been tested a few times since that 2016 report and the numbers have been roughly the same.

The current Brady Campaign Data no longer includes ages 17-19 in their total. The number in their most recent report shows that six children, not seven are killed each day.

CLAIM: Gov. Inslee said he was the first to create a public health care option in the U.S.

Washington’s plan is more of a hybrid model though, where the state dictates the terms of the public option plans but hire private insurance companies to administer them.

CLAIM: Representative Ryan said that “the bottom 60% haven’t seen a raise since 1980. The top 1% control 90% of the the wealth.”

The Congressman’s numbers on the top wealth percentage are wrong. His numbers about the bottom 60% not seeing a raise are misleading.

Data from the Congressional Budget Office show that the bottom 80% of Americans have actually seen income rise since 1979. There isn’t data specifically addressing the bottom 60%, so it’s impossible to completely invalidate the claim.

The Federal Reserve data shows that the richest 1% of the country control roughly 32% of the US wealth, not 90%.

CLAIM: Senator Cory Booker said during the debate that "we have a nation that has more African Americans under criminal supervision now than all the slaves in 1850."

Turns out, this isn't the first time he's used that phrase, but in every other case he makes this statement about African American MEN, specifically. So we're counting this one, as a slight slip-up. Our VERIFY researchers checked the 1850 census, which listed 872,924 African American male slaves between the ages of 15-100.

So yes, we can VERIFY, that while Booker made a minor error in his delivery during the debate, it is true that more African American men are under police supervision now than the number of African American male slaves in 1850.

CLAIM: Former U.S. Housing and Urban Development secretary Castro claimed that he would do something that hadn’t been done before and make sure women are legally paid equal to men.

Castro said, “I would do something starting with something we should have done a long time ago, which was to pass the Equal Rights Amendment. And also pursue legislation so women are paid equal pay for equal work in this country. It’s past time we do that.”

While data from the Bureau of Labor shows women earn, on average, 82 cents for every dollar a man earns, it is already illegal to pay men more than women since the Equal Pay Act was passed in 1963.

It’s not clear whether Sec. Castro meant he would add new legislation to enforce these rules differently, but the claim that it is currently legal to pay men more than women is False.

According to data from the U.S. Census Bureau, the annual median income for non-Hispanic white males is $62,422 compared to the $37,479 annual median income for African American women. So by analyzing those numbers, African American women make nearly 60 cents to every dollar a white man makes.
